Hi, I've hit a Brick wall on Joseph John Manners born 23 Nov 1840 in Chatham in Kent. His father David was a soldier. There are no records(that I can find) preseeding his marriage so I thought I could try and find Dad. I need soldiers records for Chatham Kent for the beginning of 1840 do you know where these might be. Secondly, there is no record of his birth in BMD indexes how usual is this for a birth not to be registered?
